quick update - release is now penned in for 3rd Feb! We have added more to the game like steam leaderboards, achievements, extra weapons and a super DOOPA new arcade mode that plays like a mashup of gradius and defender :P

I'm sure it could be an attainable design goal, bearing in mind what I said, it really would bump your sweet game up in sales when released on Steam :D, this has all the style and panache (and gameplay.. AND CATS) to be one of those little hits on Steam when it launches; hit Steam people up for some support integrating it into Steamworks :D

That sucks, I've been shoving this game and a couple of other shoot'em up kinda games on greenlight at everyone I can, but sadly games of this ilk seem to have a hard time. Hang in there :'(Seeing as votes arent' the only thing that matter apparently, hopefully you'll get on anyway.

Level 20-23. Replayed them and didn't experience any issues. Thinking of it, it happend after I tabbed out for a couple of seconds and back in since someone spammed me in Steam chat ... or more like 'clicked out and back in' as I was playing in windowed mode. So maybe that's the source of these drops.The only programs running in the backround were the usual stuff, firefox, skype and Steam+Desura.

Hi Heureka - we have tested the game running fine on much weaker systems, could you please retry the levels again a couple of times - to help rule out if a background process wasn't affecting the framerate.Also could you tell us which levels you were encountering frame drops.I will enquire about an fps unlock, thanks!

Did I say casual? Holy shit, the last few levels are pure evil for someone like me who's pretty bad at bullethell-games....love it. :P

What I got to say though, I'm experiencing quite significant frame-drops when there are tons of enemies spawning in. Wasn't an issue in the earlier levels, but now, whenever a huge wave of enemies appears on the screen, my fps are dropping from 60 to way below 30 while the spawning is going on. I don't have a high-end machine, but I feel like a i7 2600k @4ghz, 2gb GTX570, 8gb DDR3 should run this without any problems at all.Are you guys going to optimize this a little bit?

Also.... possible unlock of fps? I mean, 60 is okay, but unlocked fps would be nice for those with 120hz monitors.

Really nicely polished casual SHMUP. Have a vote.I also made a little "first impression" kind of video about it.Search for Ablaze with Greenlight: Aqua Kitty - Milk Mine Defender on YouTube. =)Keep up the good work.

Hi TopShmups, if you are in fullscreen mode - the game automatically switches to the highest resolution possible (1280x720) and the resolution option is greyed out.If you are in windowed mode you can switch resolutions, but the max again is 1280x720.Hope that helps :)
